[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What kind of art do I need to send that will look GREAT when printed?” open=”no”]

Typically we need Hi-Res Printable pdf’s that are created from the original vector art OR the original .AI or .EPS files. Art in any other form such jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff, eps, png, art created from photoshop, Word Documents will need to be inspected for print readiness. Our production team will analyze and give you solutions. We prefer that you send .PDF with embedded or outlined fonts. .PDF’s are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turn-around. Remember to add crop marks and flatten your files before uploading.

EXPORT SETTINGS FOR .PDF FILES

Adobe PDF Preset is set to: Press Quality[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What DPI does my Image need to be to look GREAT when printed?” open=”no”]

Images need to be AT LEAST 300 DPI. If not, depending on the size of the print, will most likely print fuzzy and pixelated. Probably NOT what your looking for! Send us your file and let us determine best quality!

Bleeds refer to the art/color of the printed piece to extend past the edge of the print. Crop Marks indicate where your product will be trimmed/cut.
Bleed must extend past the cut-line and will be trimmed from the product during the final cutting phase. When the image is required to extend all the way to the edge, bleed is needed to preserve the finished look and the quality of the final product.

Please keep all text at least 0.125″ inside the cut-line.

– The bleed for Standard Products is 0.125″.
– The bleed for Booklets and Presentation Folders is 0.25″.

If your unsure about Bleeds or Crop Marks talk to our team and we can help guide you in the right direction and in most cases add for you.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Do I need to see a proof before print?” open=”no”]YES!! Always view either an electronic PDF proof of your print OR in some cases a Hard Copy Print.

PDF proofs usually work for most customers.

Electronic PDF proofs are sent to the customer as a final check for copy, art and layout. Hard Copy proofs are for those customers who really need to see color. While colors on your computer screen may look GREAT, they don’t always depict the true printed color.

If you’re a picky guy or gal and depending on the method used for printing, you may want to see a hard copy if possible to approve for print.
